Default Rapalas in the Bow?

Going to get to go down to Calgary for a couple of days, and plan on trying spin fishing on the Bow. What is the best size of countdown rapala to use for trout. Also what size would you recommend for in lakes for average size trout. ( say 2 lbs.) Thanks very much for any help, I appreciate it.

Ive tried small to large and cannot seem to get into fish on the bow with raps, the only somewhat consistent lures that work for me are the panther martins in traditional silver in yellow or rooster tails. Again probably just me but have had no luck and seem to get nothing but weeds with the raps.

Catching those big bows and browns looks pretty exciting with spinning gear and cranks. I hope to make it down there this fall for a few days on my own time instead of work, to do some slaying.

Post your trip report !
